"I joined ADAA earlier this year when Dr. Kissen recommended membership to me as I was starting out in full time private practice in Chicago. After looking at the resources available and the networking opportunities, I decided to join. ADAA is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anxiety, depression and other related topics and I felt that this would help support me in enhancing my knowledge base for my clients. I also loved that they provided webinars and CEUs at a reasonable cost for professionals as well as providing webinars to the public. One of my missions in the mental health community is to help break the stigma that surrounds mental health diagnosis and getting treated, whether it be through talk therapy and medication therapy or one or the other. I felt as ADAA provides webinars and resources for the public they align with my mission. I am also so grateful for the opportunities ADAA has given me in publishing one of my blogs. The community is so supportive and encouraging. I am very much looking forward to the opportunities, future CEU's, and conferences the ADAA provides."

New research finds that more hours of screen time are associated with lower well-being in those aged 2 to 17, with the association larger for adolescents than for younger children. Researchers discovered that after only one hour of screen time daily, children and teens may begin to have less curiosity, lower self-control, less emotional stability and a greater inability to finish tasks.

When public health officials get wind of an outbreak of Hepatitis A or influenza, they spring into action with public awareness campaigns, monitoring and outreach. But should they be acting with equal urgency when it comes to childhood trauma? A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests the answer should be yes.

Prescriptions for psychotropic drugs, such anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic medications, may make it easier for some patients to use the drugs in attempted suicides, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The researchers suggest that those at high risk for suicide with prescriptions for psychotropic drugs should be closely monitored.

Researchers have identified a common pattern of brain activity linked to feelings of low mood, particularly in people who have a tendency toward anxiety. This discovery could help scientists develop new therapies to help people with mood disorders such as depression by convincing the brain to "unlearn" the detrimental signaling patterns of these diseases, according to researchers at the University of California San Francisco.

People who are obese are more likely to have depression than people who are not, but it's been unclear how one might cause the other. A study of the relationship between depression and genetic variants linked to higher body mass index published Nov. 13 in the International Journal of Epidemiology suggests that obesity causes depression, and that it is the untoward psychological effects related to obesity that drive the mood disorder.

Schizophrenia symptoms tend to appear in adolescence or young adulthood. And while there are some early warning signs which can identify a person at high risk for the disorder, there is no way to definitively diagnose it until the first psychotic episode. Now, an international research team has identified a specific brain activity pattern that correlates with the development of schizophrenia.

For the billions of young people who seek community and connection on social media, new research warns their search may be in vain. Instead, spending too much time on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram may actually increase the risk of depression and loneliness. So concludes a small analysis that tracked the impact such sites had on the mental health of 143 users between the ages of 18 and 22.

There are many types of anxiety, and all of them have different symptoms. But they tend to have one thing in common, and that's repetitive anxious thoughts. If you have anxiety, you might catch yourself ruminating on all the "what-ifs" of life, or zeroing in on worst case scenarios. This, of course, happens without your permission, as your brain runs away with you, overanalyzes and focuses on stressful events.

Everyone experiences anxiety differently, but if you've ever been around someone who is having a panic attack, suggesting "Try not to worry" is not the best idea." You can say things that make anxiety worse," said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). "People don't like to be dismissed."
